BROWN VICTIM OF REVENGE Steunenberg Assassination Is Re-enacted in All Details. LIVES, BUT IS UNCONSCIOUS 'They Laid for Mo and. They Got Me," He Is Heard to Mutter Ex Officer Vigorously Prosecuted Gamblers and Saloonmen. BAKER CITY. Or., Sept 83. (Spe cial.) At 10:4 tonight ex-Sheriflf Harvey K. Brown was blown almost to pieces by a heavy charge of dyna mite as he entered the gate to his home In this city. His left leg was blown off close to his body and his left arm mangled. At this hour It Is Impossible to tell the ex ent of hi3 injuries. He was taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital, where his wounds were dressed and everything done to relieve his suffering. Brown had Just returned this after noon from Stices Gulch, where he has mining property, and was returning home from downtown when the ex plosion occurred. As he entered the gate there was a loud report, and when help arrived ho was found lying on the sidewalk In a mangled condition. Explosion Shatters Windows. The gate, the large gate posts and part of the fence were blown Into splinters by the heavy discharge of dynamite.' Every window in his home was broken and some windows across the street. The report was heard al over town and attracted a large crowd to the scene of the tragedy. The perpetrators of the dastardly deed are not known and have left no trace except a wire which extended from the gate about 25 feet north along the fence and then west about 30 feet In the middle of the road. It is supposed that the men at the end of the wire watched for Brown and as he entered the gate set oft the dynamite; immediately after the explosion a neighbor heard some men running north from Brown's house. A porch light was burning at his home, but the street to the north was pitch dark. "They Got Me," He Mutters. It Is thought that Brown has some idea of the identity of the men who exploded the bomb, for he was heard to say before he relapsed into unconsciousness: ' They have laid for me and they got me." Brown became unconscious a few min utes after the explosion and did not say anything that would give a clue to the Identity of the assassins. Mrs. Brown is prostrated, and the doctors fear that she will not recover from the awful shock. Made War on Gamblers. While Sheriff of Baker County, Harvey Brown was diligent In enforcing the law against the saloon men and gamblers and was also a detective of no mean ability. He had been employed on several Im portant cases and It is thought that he knew too much to make It safe for some men In this part of the country, and they took this method of trying to have him put out of the way. BAKER CITr, Or., Oct. 1. (Special.) At 3:45 o'clock this morning word from St. Elizabeth's Hospital states that the physicians successfully ampu tated Brown's leg. but his condition Is till serious and the doctors have little hope that he will recover. No clue can be obtained as to the assassin. WANT TARIFF REMOVED Publishers Say Cost of Paper Will ' Ruin Them. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Sept. 30. (Special.)

PASSENGERS SHAKEN UP Switch Engine Crashes Into Train in Albany Yards. ALBANY, Or., Sept. 30. (Special.) While making a flying switch In the S. P. railroad yards here tonight, an engine crashed Into the rear of the Albany Springneld passenger train with . such force as to hurl all of the 75 passengers from their seats and shatter the glass in every one of the windows. While many of the passengers were badly bruised, none of the injuries are serious, and all passengers proceeded on their way to Springfield.

' OFFICE BOY CARRIED NOTES Ford's Stenographer Smiles at Heney With Scorn. RUEF TO TESTIFY TODAY Two United Railroad Directors Deny Bribery Was Authorized by Board and Plead Total Ignorance. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 80. Charley Hagerty. Abe Ruefs office boy, Miss Cella McDermott, "confidential steno grapher" to Tlrey L. Ford, and Mrs. Emma L. Lonergan, wife of ex-Super visor Thomas F. Lonergan, whom Ford Is accused of having bribed, -were the most interesting of the various wit nesses, who tcstlfiel today for the prosecution in the trial of the general counsel of the United Railroads and ex-Attorney-General of the state. Young Hagerty told of a visit paid by United Railroad officials to Ruefs temporary quarters at No. 2432 Pine street after the lire, when, - desiring privacy, Ruef, Ford and Thorhwell Mullally retired into a bathroom for a conversation behind closed doors. This bathroom, said Hagerty, served as Ruefs private office. Hagerty often carried a note from Ruef to Ford. It was sealed and he did not know Its contents. This was soon after the em panelment of the grand Jury. In the Summer 6f 1906 he observed Ruef enter his office with a Shirt box under his arm. 'According to the, prose. cutlon, It contained $50,000 In small bank notes for the bribing of Super visors. Stenographer Is Haughty. Mlse McIefmott provoked much' interest by her attitude on the stand. She tossed her head at each question put by As elstant District Attorney Heney, pitched her voice to a haughty tone and allowed a scornful smile to play about her lips. The defense raising the objection that Misa McDermott could not divulge as a witness information gained in the pursuit of her. duties as stenographer to Ford, the prosecution retorted that the law throws no such protection around that relation when the commission of crime or fraud Is involved. Judge Lawlor will rule on the point tomorrow. Mrs. Lonergan verified her husband's confession of guilt, telling how he brought home and gave to her the $4000 alleged to have been paid him as a bribe by the United Railroads. There Is a general understanding, though not by authority of any state ment by the prosecution, that Ruef will take the stand tomorrow as the last witness for the people. The prosecution, as far as It has at tempted to go, has made out a strong circumstantial case. Meyer Denies Knowledge. Before the resumption this afternoon of the trial Judge Lawlor ' called NEW YORK DIDN'T SEE Witins Boyalty. Boobs Flgbttnc Over the SpoDa. th- untried cases of bribery remaining against Louis Glass. At the suggestion of Assistant District Attorney O'Gara they were continued to October 7, with the understanding that they or some one of them will then be set for trial. Judge Lawlor granted an additional two-weeks stay of execution of sentence already im posed upon .Glass. The first witness to be called In the Ford cam was John Henry Meyer, a director of the United Railroads and a banker by profession. Assistant District Attorney Heney's ' examination of Mr. Meyer was very brief and for the purpose of showing that he as a director was not taken Into the secrets of the alleged briberies. "Did you ever know that Abraham Ruef was employed aa a lawyer by the United Railroader Mr. Heney asked. The witness replied negatively. He also declared ignorance of Patrick Calhoun's $200,000 deposit In the local mint. Mr. Meyer was not cross-examined. Board Bid Not Discuss Bribes. Charles Holbrook. a .director of the United Railroads and one of the best-r known merchants in San Francisco, was called. He told of going with Ford and Treasurer Starr, of the streetcar corpora tion, to the mint soon after the fire, when Justice William K. Day, V. 8. Su preme Court. Lifelong Friend of President McKlnley, Who Spoke at Unveiling of Statue at Canton. a sack of gold pieces was delivered to Mr. Starr and carried away in an automobile. He thought the sack would, hold about $5000. Mr. Holbrook said that at no meeting of the board of directors attended by him was tie expenditure of money, to secure the passage of the trolley fran chise discussed, nor did he learn of any sucn expenditure. ie nad never Deen informed that the corporation employed Ruef as lawyer or In connection with the desired franchise. Mr. Heney brought out this testimony with intent to forestall the plea by the defense that the $200,000 paid to Ruef was paid as a fee, he having been retained as a lawyer, and that not a dollar was ever paid by the United Rail roads to any one as a bribe. . Ford's Salary $1000 a Month. Mr. Holbrook said he last saw Mr. Starr in New York last July, but did not know his present whereabouts. He said Tlrey L. Ford's salary In 1906 as general counsel of the United Railroads was $1000 a month. On cross-examination by Karl Rogers, Mr. Holbrook testified that after the fire no unusual amount of material supplies suggesting expectation on the part of President Calhoun that the trolley fran chise would be granted was ordered. "In 1906." asked Mr. Heney, "did an' ap propriation of 200,000 or $50,000 come up before the board of directors?" Mr. Holbrook's answer was: "I don't remember any such sum." Oregon Woman Gets Office.

Chapman, General Manager of Barber Lumber Company Refuses to Produce Them, on Ground of Incriminating Himself. BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 80. Federal Judge Whltson, who Is presiding at the trial of United States Senator' W. E. Borah, notified the prosecution to day that the case had reached the point where some testimony connect ing the defendant on trial with the al leged Idaho land-fraud conspiracy must be presented. "Great latitude has been allowed you," declared the court, "in the pre sentation of testimony here on the promise that the defendant would be connected with the alleged conspiracy. But there is a time when the court has to control the order of proof. Begin ning tomorrow morning, you will con fine your testimony to the defendant on trial." The attorneys for the Government, acting on this suggestion, saldI they would offer in evidence tomorrow the records of the County Clerk's office showing that scores of timber deeds had been admitted to record at the re qust of Senator . Borah. Government to Rest Case. "We thought (that matter was con ceded ' when we allowed the deeds themselves to go into evldenc without protest," put in Mr. Hawley, - chief counsel for the defense. "We are also willing to admit that Senator Borah was general counsel for the Barber Lumber Company during the years cov ered by the indictment." Mr. Rush, of the prosecution, said ha desired the county records in evi dence, regardless of the admissions of the defense. Judge Whltson's notification to "the prosecution came at the conclusion of the testimony of the Government's two most important witnesses. It gave an official intimation of the status of the case against Senator Borah, which be came more significant when Prosecutor Rush stated tonight that the Govern ment's case undoubtedly would be con cluded tomorrow. Steunenberg Testimony Protested. The trial went on this afternoon after an abandonment of the morning session because of the illness of one of the Jurors, which was thought for a time to be of such a nature as to cause a serious delay In the conclu sion of the case. , Dr. O. V. Steely, of Pocatello, was the first witness. Steely said he talked with Senator Borah last year, and the Senator told him his . law practice yleld- ARE MORE INTERESTING Dear Old Lnnnon. The Thanrs and Whites. ed more than would the office in Washington. Senator Borah told the witness that he was chief counsel for the Barber Lumber Company. The testimony again had to do large ly with the actions of ex-Governor Steunenberg In land dealings. Mr. Hawley protested against witnesses being allowed to give conversations with Steunenberg. saying they had no bearing on Borah's case and tended only "to blacken memory of a man who cannot answer.' The liveliest Incident of the day was when L. G. Chapman, general man ager of the Barber Lumber Company, was called to the stand as a Govern ment witness. Mr. Chapman brought many books and much correspondence which the Government desired, but re fused point-blank to produce the com pany's account books showing the amounts paid for timber lands and to whom paid. He declared the Infor mation contained In the books could not assist the Jury in the matter on trial, but might tend to Incriminate Mr. Chapman as an officer and stock holder in the company. The matter of requiring Chapman to produce the books went over for argument tomor- Governor AmliVw I Harris, of Ohio,' s- Who presided at the Dedication of the McKlnley Mausoleum at Canton. row. Chapman has his own counsel and Senator Borah's lawyers took no part in the controversy. Borah's Name Brought In. The two important witnesses of the day were E. E. Garrett, Receiver at ther Boise Land Office, and-L. L. Sharp, the Special Agent of the General Land Office, who was sent to Idaho by ex- Land Commissioner Binger Hermann. Garrett said that Borah came to his house one evening and asked regard ing some contested land claimr, as to whether hearings were to had on them. "I indicated to him that the claims were bad, and told him he had better keep his hands out of them," said Garrett. At this time the Barber Lumber Company was not a party of record in the cases. Sharp, the Special Agent, said he was Introduced to Borah In the latter's office by Receiver Gar rett. He talked to the Senator In a general way about allegations of per sons living near the timber lands that the lands contained valuable mineral deposits and should not be given for the timber that was on them. There was also a charge that ' the timber claims were not in good faith. One day Borah came to his office and asked what he Intended to do about certain contested claims. Sharp told him the protests were to be pushed and Borah walked out. He could not remember any of the conversations with Borah In detail. On cross-examination. Sharp said he had talked to many lawyers about the alleged frauds. He said It was nothing unusual to be consulted by lawyers of the Barber Lumber Company and that there was no secret about It. Senator Borah always told him he was anxious to protect the lumber com paoy against fraudulent claims. SCENTS NEW FEDERATION PLOT Boise Federal Grand Jury Inquires Into Borah Indictment. BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 30. John F. Nugent and Fred S. Miller, attorneys for the Western Federation of Miners, were wit nesses today before the Federal grand Jury, which is Investigating the charges against District Attorney N. M. Rulck, In the pleas in abatement filed by all the defendants in the land cases except Sen ator Borah, who refused to take advan tage of technicalities. They were sub penaed to testify in regard to the report that the Western Federation of Miners paid $15,000 to secure the indictment ot Borah and Steunenberg, the latter under the name of "John Doe." The grand Jury, under direction of Tim othy Burke, United States District Attor ney of Wyoming, is going deep Into the charges against Rulck. The work of ex amining the Grand Jurors who returned the Indictment was completed a week ago, but facts developed which. In the opinion of Mr. Burke, called for further investi gation. It Is understood that It is likely that the books of the Western F: deration will be called for In the investigation now being made. A woman witness before the grand Jury last week testified she " over heard Miller state on the train that it cost the Federation $15,000 to have the In dictments found.

WADDELL'S BAD BLUNDER Immense Crowd Sees Sensational Game for the American League Championship at Philadelphia. Detroit Maintains Her Lead. . PHILADELPHIA, Sept. SO. In one of the greatest baseball games ever seen in this city, Detroit and Phila delphia, who are making a sensationaP fight for the American League cham pionship, today played each other to a" standstill. The game went 17 Innings, and was called by the umpires because it was too dark to play any longer. Both teams were worked up to a high pitch and going stronger and neither wanted to Quit, although the street lamps surrounding the grounds had already been lighted. There being no result, the positions of the teams remain the same, Detroit having a lead of seven points. Each team has seven games on its schedule before the season ends. Had It not been for the fact that two games were to have been played, necessitating an early game, the game could not have gone 17 innings. Fans Swarm on Roofs. It was a remarkable contest In many ways, and the crowd that saw Jt was probably the largest that ever gath ered in a ball ground in this city.. It Is estimated that fully 40,000 persons were- packed in and outside the grounds. The official paid attendance was 25,127, but several thousand mors persons gained admission on 'passes or otherwise. The gates to the grand stand were- closed before 1 o'clock, and the great crowd became so large that the police for a time lost control and hundreds gained admission over the fence. The roofs of surrounding houses were crowded to the danger point, the thrifty householders charg ing from 25 cents to $1 for standing room on their roofs. Players Slug One Another. The multitude within the enclosure was well controlled except in the 14th inning, when Rossman, first baseman, of Detroit, nearly caused a riot. In this Inning Davis hit to center field and Crawford dropped the ball on the -edge f the crowd. Crawford said he was Interfered with, and the whole Detroit team came In to back up Craw ford's claim. In the 'confusion that followed Rossman struck Mont Cross, who was -coaching. Cross went at . Rossman, but-the other players inter fered and stopped hostilities. The crowd surged on the field and for a few min utes matters looked dangerous, but the excellent work of the police pre-x vented further disorder and the crowd fell back. Davis was declared out and RosBman was put out of , the game. Klllian took his place. Donovan Takes the Honors. The honors of the game undoubtedly belong to Donovan, who after being ham mered for 14 hits in seven innings, pulled himself together and the more he pitched the better he seemed to get. In the last ten Innings he held the home team to six hits. He gave only three bases on balls in the 17 Innings. Dygert lasted only a little more than one Inning, when he was relieved by the famous Waddell. The latter pitched remarkable ball for three innlnga, striking out six of the 18 men that faced him.- The crowd went wild over his performance, but he later weak ened and was replaced by Plank in the ninth Inning, after Cobb had. hit him for a home-run, tieing the score. Plank pitched his usual steady game and was seldom in trouble. Score Tied In Ninth. The Philadelphlans looked an easy winner up to the seventh inning when they had a lead of 7 to L In the sev enth Inning Philadelphia made one, bring ing up the score to eight. Detroit made three runs off poor fielding and added one In the eighth and tied It up in the ninth. Both teams scored In the 11th and from then to the finish neither side could get the extra tally.- Each side was dangerous at times, but Donovan and Plank were as steady as a clock. Bril liant plays marked many of the Innings, the fielding honors going to Nichols, who scooped up grounders on the run and shot them over to first In brilliant style. Detroit was easily disposed of In the first Inning, but the home team gave Donovan much trouble. Hartsel singled, stole second and Nichols sacrificed him on third.' Seybold was given four balls. Davis' drive was too hot for Oleary and Harstel trotted home, Seybold taking sec ond. Murphy filled ' the bases with a single and a moment later Seybold scored on Collins' fly to Jones. Oldrlng sent Davis home with the third run on a two base hit into the crowd. Detroit got its first run in the second. Concluded on Pass I.) FTT 105.01
